Generally was good.
Check out processes very kindly and staff very helpful. Location is perfect.
When we arrived the hotel reception desk did not welcome, also did not get information enough.

Not a very pleasant experience
Location is not far from major attractions of the city.
The room I was first assigned on 4th floor had a spider with it’s web right over the bed. There were also spider cobweb hanging on the other side of the ceiling. When I complained and requested to change room. The lobby lady said having spider means something good of the room, I thought she was joking but it’ not funny at all. How long a room has to be vacant before a spider can complete its web? If the room is cleaning everyday properly, how can anyone not notice those spider webs? I was allowed to change another room on the 3 rd floor eventually, and the new room was at least look better and cleaner. However, the first room gave me a pretty bad impression about the management and sanitation of this hotel.

Very helpful and friendly staff, clean, comfortable and centrally located to old town.
The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was oddly placed. After staying in older hotels with lots of charm, this was quite modern. I felt it made a great business trip hotel.
Very nicely located to old town.
too modern for what we were looking for

Great stay in Bern in modern hotel
Spacious and well maintained with free mini bar. Very comfortable bed and bedsheets. The hotel provided a free tram ticket for our stay.
The entrance to the bathroom was a sliding glass door - it rattled quite a bit when opening and closing. A solid door would have been better. Location wise, there was a big renovation of a bridge so not so accessible with public transport.

Don't miss staying here !
Terrific courtesy extended at front desk during check in. The lady also found me a table when the restaurant was full in the evening ! The location was perfect for me about 7 mins by cab will cost you between 15-20 euro. The hotel also boasts a fabulous casino and auditorium for musical events. The breakfast was exceptional from 6.30 am onwards. There was bottled water as well as soft drinks & beer in the room that was complimentary !
I could not think of anything adverse or negative. Perhaps the cost for one night was definitely on the higher side.

Great hotel but check for events before you stay!
The hotel was modern, clean and had a lovely bar area. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms spacious. The location was fantastic and amenities were modern within the rooms. Mini bar was included in the price and restocked each day.
The room was very hot and could not be managed. We were supposed to have a tablet in the room for ordering room service and (possibly) other things, no tablet could be provided at all. We had to open the window to get the temperature down to sleep and as a result my wife had an allergic reaction to the room due to an extraction vent being outside the window in a small glassed in open area. The venue did not tell us about a performance that was on the last evening we were staying there and the music for this was so loud it shook the walls. This went on for over two hours finishing some time after 10. After this, we assume a stage was being removed or packed up and scraping and banging metal could be heard until well after midnight. We had to be up at 6am and this significant affected our ability to sleep. Communication from the venue in advance could have supported us in this instance. As a hotel that has performances regularly I would check the dates of these if you are looking for a restful stay.

Clean Modern High-End Hotel
The room was very roomy and clean. The shower was fantastic. The double bed was massive and very comfortable. The whole hotel is a great piece of modern architecture and the interior is worth seeing. The room “controls” were also quite “hi-tech”; it took me a while to work out how the lights were controlled.
The hotel is in a central location, easy walking distance to the centre of town.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Parking is really convenient – right under the hotel with a lift up into the hotel.
Note that although most of the wall sockets are Swiss ones – there is also a Euro style one at the desk.
The room is on the expensive side, the most expensive we stayed in on our pan-European trip but this seems a normal for Switzerland. On the whole probably value for money if you want to treat yourself.

This was by far the best stay of our month-long tour of Switzerland, Austria, Germany & France!
A beautifully designed hotel, inside and out, that embraces you with comfort & relaxation. Our reception staff were as friendly as they were professional. We loved relaxing next to the koi pond (beautiful!). Breakfast was great.
There really was nothing not to like.

Great City Centre Location in Bern
I recently stayed at the Swissôtel Kursaal Bern and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The hotel is perfectly situated, just a short walk from Bern’s charming Old Town and major attractions like the Zytglogge and the Bear Park. The location makes it an excellent base for both business and leisure travelers.
The hotel itself is modern and stylish, with a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step into the lobby. My room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and featured contemporary decor with thoughtful touches. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciated the high-quality linens and amenities, including a Nespresso machine and a well-designed workspace. The views over the city from my window and small balcony were a wonderful bonus.
The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fresh, local options. The staff at Swissôtel Kursaal Bern were outstanding—friendly, professional, and always ready to assist with recommendations or special requests. Check-in and check-out were efficient and hassle-free.
Overall, Swissôtel Kursaal Bern met my expectations. It combines modern luxury with Swiss hospitality, making it a top choice for anyone visiting Bern. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of elegance in the Swiss capital.
The bathroom sink was extremely small, and the shower base was probably the most slippery I have ever experienced, I would say deadly in fact.
There was no iron & ironing board in the room, which seems to be standard in Switzerland, even for 4 and 5 start hotels.

Nice hotel near the center of Bern
It's always a pleasure to visit the Kursaal in Bern. The hotel is well situated near the center of Bern, the restaurant and food are great, the breakfast is amazing, the staff is helpful and the beds are very comfortable.
We've been to the Kursaal a few times over the past few years and always had a great time there. Just this time was a bit different as we got a bedroom without any outside view (see photos below) and the bathroom looked a bit like in a hospital and could use some renovation. It was the first time I didn't feel that I got the value for the money. Next time I'll make sure to request a bedroom with a window on the outside.

Classy and convenient.
Very clean, very modern and ideally suited for the old town.
Breakfast is a bit complicated with full for a steep cost or room service for less than full…or something else.

No window - Avoid room 243
Window direct to lobby with people watching in our room (room 243). No fresh air and impossible to see outside. 270 CHF for that room is unacceptable

Convenient and comfortable location with good amenities
Location was good, right next to a bus stop. Rooms were nice and grounds were beautiful. The facilities were good as well, including the gym.
Rooms were not the cleanest - found wrappers in nooks left uncleaned, carpets still had lint and marks in them and very small specks in the toilet bowl. Our shampoo was also empty when we first arrived, although this was quickly remedied.
Windows for the rooms we got all open into the building, so no natural light. Was expected though.

Lovely rooms pity about the view and price
Rooms are beautifully fitted, perhaps one of the best modern hotels I have seen. lovely light wood and all provided. Very quiet.
Parking is convenient no step access.
Breakfast is in an inner atrium but food is excellent - at SFR32 it should be.
Lovely outside space with lakes and Koi to watch.
Our 3rd floor room had a view onto a wall which was very disappointing as this is overlooking the town. Too tired to change but felt taken advantage of as it was not cheap.
Location is not central Bern but its not too far to walk in and you can use the free tram offer.

Very good
The hotel is well situated, within a walking distance from the historical city centre. The room was spacious and well equipped, furniture very standard. For breakfast there was decent choice. It was perfect for one night stay, for more time it could be too "standard".
The room was facing a depressing inside well, so basically there was no natural light and you couldn't really open the window.

I enjoyed my stay, the staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating.
The reception team was great! Especially the gentleman I dealt with on the phone regarding the noise level above my room. Thank-you for offering us a different room. Sorry I didn’t get your name. I made a noise complaint on Sunday night around 10pm and he was lovely to deal with and made sure we had a restful night with sleep. The free drinks from the mini bar was a plus and the gym was great too.
The hotel hosted a Mykonos-themed event on Saturday night (26.08.23) with lively music and a much more lively and high spirited crowd. We were given prior notice about the event. However, the noise kept waking me up during the night, making my sleep restless. I am unsure if this is a regular occurrence on Saturdays. Apart from that, I have no complaints about my stay. Maybe the hotel can distribute ear plugs for their guests in the future.

We love Bern but not this hotel
Location is excellent. Bar is very nice
The room air conditioning was terrible. We know it was very hot, but they really should not advertise AC as it hardly worked. There was a huge party Saturday night. The party was away from our room, but hundreds of guests were in the bar area ALL NIGHT LONG. We finally had quiet at 5 AM
